State guide
Kansas
Kansas does not appear to publish a statewide public list of meth-contaminated properties on current KDHE pages, but KDHE still publishes meth-lab cleanup guidance and technical assistance contacts. State law also lets KDHE record a contamination notice with the county register of deeds if responsible parties do not complete cleanup within 60 days.
